Since the auto daily system restore points are generated at startup, I modified processing to only activate between 12:00 and 22:00. If I crank up the box prior to, this should allow the nominal restore point to be generated. Will see.
Any other options fine-tuning you may suggest?

On this page: http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration is a description of how to set up a cc_config.xml file. In particular, "<start_delay>nseconds</start_delay>
Specify a number of seconds to delay running applications after client startup. New in 6.1.6", looks interesting.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the cc_config.xml file goes in the BOINC DATA directory. The location of this file is something like the second or third line in the log after a cold start. The default location for Vista and 7 is c:\ProgramData\BOINC. Note that ProgramData is by default a hidden directory.
